“The Wall Street reform bill headed for a test vote on the Senate floor Monday night will allow the Federal Reserve to continue to pump trillions of dollars into major banks largely in secrecy, the co-author of House language that would open the central bank to an audit charged in a memo to the Senate.”

Approval ratings as reported by CBS News today:
Nancy Pelosi: 11% Harry Reid: 8%
And you thought Bush’s numbers were bad.
To anyone that is opposed to the health care bill but supported (or still supports) our outrageous foreign policy and defense budget, here’s something to keep in mind:
Defense spending in last 10 years: 5570 billion Health care bill cost over the next 10 years: 970 billion
Kind of shows how hypocritical all those loud mouthed radio hosts and tea partiers are. I guess war spending is good...

Two things that bother me about Tumblr (or people that use Tumblr):
People that post their tweets: if I wanted to read your twitter (and I most likely don’t), I would visit it directly. I don’t need 34 tumblr posts a day about what you ate or what your plans are for the night.
People that only reblog: everyone knows exactly what I’m talking about. You probably have the same...

“What if tomorrow morning you woke up to headlines that yet another Chinese drone bombing on US soil killed several dozen ranchers in a rural community while they were sleeping? That a drone aircraft had come across the Canadian border in the middle of the night and carried out the latest of many attacks? What if it was claimed that many of the victims harbored anti-Chinese sentiments, but...

I don’t get most of the arguments against the health care bill coming from the right. You normally hear two things:
Everything will get rationed, people will die.
Competition will be forced out when it cannot compete with the government.
Ok, so believe one or the other, but the two don’t work together. If the government is killing people with its plan (seriously?), what stops a...

WatchWait, why did Barack Obama just make my point (paragraph 3, first sentence)?
It’s funny how big government coming from an ignorant old white guy talking about God is fine for most Republicans. But big government coming from an educated young black dude talking about progress - sound the alarm - American is ruined. Thanks AM radio.

I don’t get why some people are so excited for government intervention into healthcare. My health insurance is complicated, expensive, and needs reform, no doubt. And I agree, people losing their homes to buy pills is insane.
I guess I just don’t have faith that the government can improve it. I’m not driven by ideology, I hate most of what both parties do. I’m driven by...

Do you really care about the people suffering in Africa or do you actually just care about impressing your friends by acting like you care about the people suffering in Africa?
Posting a banner on your social networking profile, yeah, that really furthers the cause. Do you feel good about yourself now?
I have a wireless printer that I keep in my office closet. Every time I print from my bedroom, I forget about it and think someone is breaking into my house.
